it's absurdity after absurdity. i will reiterate here that i'm not sure i believe he's a real person.

if you take his profile seriously, he wants someone like chizzad, but would reject chizzad for making whatever a firefighter makes (which is probably less than $90k/year). am i to take this ad (and by extension anything else this user "writes") seriously? you expect a greek god with a six-figure salary. fine. everyone does, i suppose...

Badwild, I think that the reason why you've been getting such negative responses is because of the way your profile is. Maybe try fixing your profile and make it more realistic and genuine. Perhaps some of the negativity towards you will die down. Good luck!

I received a hotlisting and a friend request from him. While I am overtly flattered at any hotlisting I get, I am very particular about adding folks to my buddy list. I sent an email back to him explaining that he and I had never had any type of conversation before and I do not add people I don't know. He replied with information as though it were some kind of interview. I politely deleted the emails and had no further correspondence with him. After viewing his forum posts and his profile, I have come to the conclusion that he is trying to become King of Real Jock the way that others have sent requests to me on Myspace and Facebook before I deleted my facebook page so they can boast about have the most "friends" of anyone. I believe this is a real guy who is more than likely someone who has an online persona that is so far removed from his 'real' persona, he doesn't bear any further contact or correspondence from anyone because he can't be taken seriously. That has been my experience, albeit miniscule, with him.

I do agree that the insensitive personal attacks are unwarranted and needless. The machismo, Type A personality prokjections might consider taking it down a notch or two. Just saying.

i said this to him very nicely when he first came on the site. His continued ignoring of excellent advice over a protracted time suggests troll....

I think 90% of those here will give you constructive advice if your question is framed in which a way that invites reasoned help or criticism. If you throw out a question that "poisons the answer in advance", the responses you get may be as helpful as what could be.

Now there are a few here that will make side remarks that aren't helpful, I tend to not forget when someone does that to me... but the best thing to do is be sincere. To put out a thread indicating that you don't date someone unless they make 95K invites sarcastic comment. Actually there were many here that could have been much less kind.

In the end many here read your threads and wonder whats up? If you just want some good discussion, preface your introductory comments a little better.

beneful1 saidWhat are you doing here? You're not interested in fitness or going to the gym or dieting.. so what are you doing here other than wasting everyones time

Dude that's soooo lame. This site offers many things too many ppl. At the end of the day it's still a community of ppl. w/out him the cookie cutter images would be a dime a dozen. To the OP not everyone here will take a liking to you and so what this is not a popularity contest. However making it one will leave you w/ the very questions you seek (why) Focus on the ones who have been kind and given insight and leave those at your waist side who have been indifferent.
